ALFRED BOULAY, OF CENTRAL FALLS, RHODE ISLAND.
sHUTTLE-THREADER. y I
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 524,240, dated August '7, 1894.
Application nea my 23,1394. seria1N0.512,1?2. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.- y
Be it known that I, ALFRED BOULAY,aciti zen'of the United States, residing at Central Falls, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Shuttles; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and
exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which forms a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in shuttles inwhich the thread orgyarn from the cop passes through a tube or perforation in the side of the shuttle near its extremity; and the object of my invention is to provide a means of drawing the thread through the perforation with greater ease and safety than is possible with shuttles now in use.
I accomplish this object by the device shown in the accompanying drawing which shows a shuttle embodying my improvement.
B is the body of the shuttle; C the cop of yarn, and S the spindle supporting the cop.
K is the ordinary tube through which the yarn passes from the cop to the outside of the shuttle.
H is an additional perforation made in the side of the shuttle about midway of its length.
Through the two perforations K and H passes an endless band ENE', having a tension just sufficient to enable it to be easily slipped or moved in the direction of its length without flapping. This band is made of loosely twisted cord of cotton or wool or some equivalent material, not smoothly finished uponY the outside.
.to the eye or tube With my invention the end of the yarn is taken between the thumb and finger and slightly twisted with the endless band E-E, as shown at T; the thumb then draws the part E of the endless band downward along the body of the shuttle, thus drawing the inner portion E of the endless band through theV tube K, and of course with it the end of theyarn T. The end of the yarn is then easily `disengaged and the shuttle adjusted in the loom. A slight nick N keeps the endless band separate from the yarn while the shuttle is in motion in the loom.
Vrepresents the normal course of the yarn use.
Having now described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Lettersl Patent, is-
A shuttle having the perforation H in the side wall thereof, the tube K near the end thereof, and the endless band E E passing through said perforation and tube substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
